How doogish is it to say Mele has the ceiling of Trey Adams? I feel Mele is more highly recruited and has a similar frame, although I freely admit my TBS skills leave a lot to be desired.
I haven't watched his film yet (will let you know when I do) but if Pepsi and DDY are super high on him then that's telling ... they hate just about everything
He for sure has Trey level potential, he has farther to go to get there because this will be his first year playing OL. But he is so effortless in his movements and his technique. True LT prospect.
I agree he looks great, but Trey came in ready to play day one. I know that wasn't ideal, but he was ready to hold his own physically.
I like Mele a lot and read he's now over 270. I agree he has high potential, but Trey was more of a sure thing. Mele is high 2 imo. Great prospect, but adding size takes awhile and isn't always a sure thing.
Mele is a much needed LT prospect and I'm excited to watch his senior year film.
Trey Adams was the same size as Mele is in HS... Trey's senior year he was 6'7 270.
And yes, he still needs to put on weight, we'll see if he can do it like Trey did after HS ended.
His advantage over Trey is he's a converted TE, much more mobile and still growing. He has added weight recently. I'm sure once the Rhino cum kicks in he will hit 310
IDK about that Trey was pretty fucking mobile coming out of school.

This is what I mean. You assume a lot of shit about Pete you probably don't quite know. Maybe it's because he looks and sounds like the kind of guy who has credibility to you. It doesn't mean shit when it comes to this business. You also assume a lot of shit about Willie, who just got to this conference 5 minutes ago. I have no experience, and I strongly suspect you don't either, to substantiate your "likely" scenarios.
I also have a hard time believing that Pete somehow knows how to read the academic issues better than most of other Pac 12 coaches. Pete is not recruiting to Stanford. That is a different animal altogether. Quit trying to act like the situations are even remotely similar. Fuck you guys have a man-crush on this dude, and it's so fucking predictable. None of these arguments would be made if he weren't winning.
If Pete needs someone and is convinced the kid is an elite talent, he'll go after him and make it work. If he chooses to not make it work, I would better guess it has to do with easier or better alternatives. I'm guessing the same is true at Oregon and with us? at WSU.
There is a bigger academic profile difference between UW and UCLA than there is between UW and Oregon or WSU. If UCLA can get a dummy, UW can get a dummy.
If we're just talking about handicapping some kid's odds of qualifying, I'm pretty sure you? don't have the only coach outside of Palo Alto who knows how to do it.

@creepycougNVM whoooshConfused. How does mobility have anything to do with academics?
Their RB is also a big time prospect that we've offered, 2020 class I believe.
